Year 13 pupils build confidence and career skills in workshop day

As part of an engaging and dynamic day dedicated to building essential skills and adaptability post-Sixth Form life, the Year 13 pupils participated in a series of valuable workshops.

The Careers Department welcomed Accredited Executive Business Coach and trainer, Penny Hubbard, who led an energising Confidence Workshop. The pupils actively participated in group discussions, exploring the many benefits of confidence and how it can positively impact their future. The session was a resounding success, with pupils leaving equipped with practical strategies to implement over the next three months.

As part of the workshop’s challenge, each pupil made a personal pledge to step outside their comfort zone by undertaking one bold action before Christmas.

In the second half of the day, Dale Willis from My Great First Job delivered an interactive CV writing session, giving pupils the tools to create standout CVs. This was followed by a hands-on LinkedIn workshop where Year 13s were shown how to effectively set up and optimise their profiles. They also learned how to use the platform to take proactive steps toward their future career goals. The day left pupils feeling informed, and ready for the next stage of their journey.
